[ LETTER FROM THE EDITOR ] Ah, school time. Brings back indelible memories of my own relief when the first day of school finally arrived—and of a recent visit by grandkids as they spent a couple of weeks here before the opening of their school year. Wall-to-wall toys and noise. That’s the best description I’ve heard yet for what happens when kids and grandkids come to visit. But depending on how many invaders, I mean visitors, you get, there should be plenty of helping hands around—theoretically, at least. In my household, that really depends on the local bikram yoga schedule. It’s easy to handle the little ones when they’re noisy: I ask them to lower their voices, and if that fails, I ‘accidentally’ lock the back door while they’re out on the deck. It’s a little trickier when the noise is generated by the grown-up kids—like when they’re blending smoothies at 6 a.m. (remember, my kids are Californians) or practicing the piano they were so intent on quitting 20 years ago. As for the mess, I’ve learned to embrace it. When we run out of clean water glasses and towels, well, it’s time to ‘recycle’ the used ones (now that’s something I never expected to say). And cleaning the house just has to fall by the wayside. Why waste time on an apple juice-stained floor or two when pudgy little arms are in the house, waiting for a hug?

PEDAL THE] CAUSE

by tony di martino

AT 16 AS A LADUE HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT, VICTORIA DRIER was diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor. “She came home complaining of a severe headache,” recalls mom Julie Drier. “I thought maybe her headband was too tight.” Over the last seven years, Victoria has undergone three brain surgeries and many rounds of radiation therapy. Next month her parents and friends will ride in her honor at Pedal the Cause, as they have every year since the event began. Established in 2010 by cancer survivor Bill Koman, PTC is a two-day community-wide event with an ambitious goal: to find a cure for cancer. The money raised supports innovative research at Siteman Cancer Center, where Victoria has received care from researcher Dr. David Tran, and St. Louis Children’s Hospital, where she’s been treated by pediatric neurosurgeon Dr. Matthew Smyth. “We kickstart today’s ideas that become tomorrow’s life-saving strategies, including work that’s not yet eligible for federal funds,” says PTC executive director Jay Indovino. Proceeds from last year’s challenge already are supporting local research on leukemia, melanoma, and breast, esophageal and oral cancers, he adds, and a recent pancreatic cancer project yielded such significant results it has since been awarded millions of dollars in outside grants. PTC offers a challenge to riders of all ages and abilities. This year’s event opens Sept. 27 at Soldiers’ Memorial with a day of celebration, including live entertainment and Taste the Cause, featuring cuisine from Annie Gunn’s, Basso, Cleveland-Heath, Farmhaus, The Libertine and Sidney Street Cafe. “Our cyclists work hard to raise funds, and we want to reward them and prepare them for the big ride with an awesome meal,” Indovino says. Taste the Cause is free to all registered cyclists and spinners; others can buy tickets on the PTC website.

DAVID DRIER, VICTORIA DRIER, DR. DAVID TRAN OF SITEMAN CANCER CENTER AND WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF MEDICINE, AND JULIE DRIER.

Sept. 28 is ride day. Cyclists can choose from a spin tent or six course options, ranging in length from 15 to 100 miles (including a new 37.5-mile ride) and in degree from easy to lung-busting. “PTC is the highest-grossing athletic fundraising event in the region,” Indovino says. Last year’s raised $2.4 million and attracted 2,170 riders. “This year, we’re expecting more than 3,000 participants and thousands of virtual riders, and our goal is $3 million.” Presenting sponsor Edward Jones and funding partners such as ACW Alliance, Weber, Clayco and Michelob Ultra cover all expenses. “So every cent raised by participants stays right here in St. Louis to support accelerated research, discovery grants and clinical care,” Indovino explains. Victoria, now 24, is pursuing a liberal arts degree at University of MissouriColumbia. “Her most recent brain scan shows she’s stable,” says father David Drier. “She’s finally off treatment, and this year, for the very first time, she’ll be able to ride with us at PTC. Thanks to rapid advances in technology, medicine and science, we’ve never been closer to a cure for cancer. Victoria and many others are winning their battle, with help from PTC.”

B STYLISH

St. Louis native Brooke Nunn-Schultz of Brentwood has launched B THE COLLECTION, a high-end clothing line that focuses on classic, preppy style. “I built this collection out of my love for classic clothing and added sophisticated, charming prints,” she says. The ready-to-wear luxury brand, available online and in specialty boutiques across the nation, can be found locally at Mister Guy, The Woman’s Exchange, Embroider the Occasion and Sweet Boutique.

URBAN WHEELS

MERCEDES-BENZ OF ST. LOUIS, formerly Tri-Star Imports, has opened its doors officially at its new location at Highway 40 and Hampton Avenue. “The new facility is absolutely incredible,” says owner Tom Hennekes. “We are very excited to move back into the city.”

WELL, I JUST SPENT ANOTHER EVENING OUT WITH MY FRIENDS, WHO SPENT MORE TIME WITH THEIR PHONES THAN WITH ME. I AM SICK OF TAKING SECOND PLACE TO AN ELECTRONIC DEVICE. —ANGRY

PATTY: Normally, I would blame this all on the younger generation, but I was having lunch with this lovely 17-year-old and noticed that her phone was nowhere in sight. I asked about it and she said, “When I am with my friends, why should I be concerned about what everyone else is doing?” Let me repeat, she is 17! Kudos to her parents, but more important, kudos to her for understanding that personal relationships are forged face to face, not via text messages. So, suggest your friends put away the phones, unless they’re parents with babies or doctors on call. If they just can’t handle it, they can always excuse themselves to go to the bathroom and check their phones from the privacy of their stall. RASCHELLE: Resistance is futile, people. We can rage against devices at dinner or we can embrace the change and the benefits that come with it. I, for one, believe that my phone makes me more engaging and a better conversationalist. For instance, when one of my friends says, “Hey did you see that pirate movie with that one actor in it, you know the guy who was in 21 Jump Street back in high school?” I no longer have to hem and haw and let the conversation die. Now I can simply pull out my device and Google 21 Jump Street to find out the actor is Johnny Depp and, as a bonus, I can see that his life has been rather interesting these past few years. I keep the conversation moving along, and I have added another dimension to the chat. Yay, me! Seriously, relax—people have long let their minds wander during social interaction, the difference is, now we can see it.

WORK OFF WEIGHT

Ladue soon will be home to one of the nation’s top fitness trends, the ballet barre workout. PURE BARRE is set to open in October in the Ladue Crossing Shopping Center and will offer classes seven days a week. As the largest barre franchise in the nation, the studio focuses on toning the trouble areas (seat, thighs and upper body) many clients struggle with through movements centered around a ballet barre. High-intensity workout SHRED415 opened its first studio outside Chicago right here in St. Louis. Touted as a top, must-try fitness craze by Vogue and Chicago Magazine, the high-intensity workout combines interval training wtih an energetic atmosphere in each 60-minute class. The studio is located in Brentwood at 8384 Musick Memorial Drive and offers more than 40 classes each week, using free weights, cardio equipment, Bosu balls, resistance bands and more.

IT SEEMS THAT EVERY WEEKEND, I CONTACT MY FRIENDS AND MAKE ALL THE PLANS FOR OUR GROUP. IF I DON’T, WE END UP DOING NOTHING. I AM TIRED OF ALWAYS BEING THE PLANNER! —JULIE THE CRUISE DIRECTOR

PATTY: There are planners and organizers in the world, and there is everyone else. I am a planner/ organizer. Which means when I see a concert I want to go to, I find out which friends want to go,then purchase the tickets. If it is time for a girls’ night out, I am likely the one who sends the email to get the ball rolling. And don’t get me started on any kind of vacations or trips. That said, if I didn’t plan and organize, I would lose my mind. It is just who I am, and I suspect it is just who you are. So I say: Embrace your role. Periodically, make your group refer to you as Madam President or some other honorary title so they understand that you do the bulk of planning. Realize that someone needs to be in charge, so why not you? And yes, I was the Student Council president in high school. RASCHELLE: Well, as a lifelong member of the ‘everyone else’ team, I want to say thank you. Thank you to the planners of the world. Who knows where we would be without you. I would likely be at home every night tweeting and Snapchatting, and when all else fails, Facebooking. The non-planners, or maybe I should call them the spontaneous ones, love freedom and the excitement that comes from not knowing what will come next. There is pure joy in that, joy that you will never know unless you take the sage advice from the lead in Frozen and let it go! (OK, OK, everyone groan now! But that song will be with you all day). >> PATTY HANNUM WANTS EVERYONE TO KNOW THAT THE BACKTALK GIRLS HAVE A FACEBOOK PAGE BUT SHE IS CONTINUALLY DISAPPOINTED AT THE NUMBER OF ‘LIKES’ OR ‘FRIENDS,’ OR WHATEVER IT’S CALLED. >> RASCHELLE BURTON IS CONVINCED THAT FACEBOOK IS ‘SO OVER.’ YOU CAN FIND HER ON SNAPCHAT, IF YOU’RE HIP, THAT IS.

COVER STORY

SIGN OF THE ARROW

by rebecca koenig

SHOPPING AT SIGN OF THE ARROW offers you much more than a beautiful baby present or needlepoint belt. Purchases might help breast cancer patients afford treatment, or supply classroom necessities for deaf children, or provide books to local elementary schools. For nearly 50 years, the philanthropic store has been a St. Louis staple for needlepoint supplies and gifts covering all occasions. Reopening just down the street this month in its new location, 9814 Clayton Road, Sign of the Arrow will continue to offer unique goods while doing good in the community. After hosting various charitable fundraisers for years, the St. Louis Alumnae Club of Pi Beta Phi, an international sorority, established the shop in 1966. “It started out as a group of women who liked to needlepoint and do other types of handicrafts,” says Julie Filean, general manager of Sign of the Arrow and Pi Beta Phi alumna. “Over the years, that has all evolved into a more traditional gift store. We travel to markets around the country and work with established manufacturers and suppliers.” And the needlepoint business has grown, as well, offering custom design work, fullservice finishing, designer canvases from national artists and craft classes. Two paid managers oversee the shop, but more than 80 volunteers make the business run, Filean explains. “They do everything from operating the cash register to selecting needlepoint and decorative stitches, buying and picking the products, pricing them, packing and displaying them, and teaching the classes.” Many are affiliated with Pi Beta Phi, but many others are simply interested in needlepoint or want to support charitable causes. Once a year, volunteers and alumnae nominate nonprofits to receive grant money from the shop’s proceeds, and a philanthropy committee selects the recipients. Last year, 22 organizations benefited from Sign of the Arrow’s donations. Because Pi Beta Phi’s national philanthropic focus is literacy, proceeds generally benefit at least one literacy-related cause each year, according to Sarah Mudd, president of the store’s board of directors. The new location will offer more space to accommodate storage and better display for needlepoint canvases. It also will allow for a wider selection of gift items. “Now we literally stack things in the stock room in every nook and cranny, floor to ceiling,” Filean says. “It has always been a dream that we could move to a bigger space, but it was really important to stay in this neighborhood where we’ve been for years. That’s why it’s taken so many years to find a good fit.” Long revered for its varied and unique gift items, the shop’s new lines include Lampe Berger fragrances and jewelry from local artist Abby Keough. Hours remain the same: 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Saturday, and Tuesdays until 7 p.m. Sign of the Arrow staff, volunteers and board members hope the new store will increase sales to generate even more funds for philanthropy. “That’s a real opportunity in our new space: to carry more products and give more to local charities,” Mudd says.

TALK [TOWNS] by bill beggs jr.

Most folks irked by how someone else parked their car simply leave a note with a few choice words under the wiper, and that’s that. Carrie Hertel, 18, left a note (sans colorful language), then proceeded to give the white 2011 Infiniti a makeover, Chesterfield cops say. She smeared mascara all over the windows and mirrors, which the car’s owner says also left scratches, according to police. Hertel was charged with felony property damage for her fit of pique that caused an estimated $3,000 damage to the car, according to the police. She also messed up her own makeup, and we’re not talking about the tube of mascara. Hertel’s mug shot shows a woman with black streaks, apparently a mixture of tears and dark makeup, running down her cheeks. Amazing she had any mascara left, considering how much havoc she’d wreaked on the Infiniti. (We’ll wager she won’t become the next model for Cover Girl.) Whole Foods had better watch its granola. Competition from all over is continues to pour into the Lou. The Fresh Market, another specialty grocery hoping for a piece of the healthier-foods market, is coming to town. The Fresh Market follows Boulder, Colo.,-based Lucky’s Market, Fresh Thyme Farmers Market and Fields Foods. The Fresh Market will set up shop at City Place in Creve Coeur and is projected to open sometime after the first of the year. Lucky’s, meanwhile, opened its first area location in Ellisville last month in the space vacated by Straub’s awhile back. There has been speculation that The Fresh Market, based in Greensboro, N.C., would build in the long-vacant Schnucks at Hanley and Clayton roads. Although a traffic impact study has been done for the location, the company has been coy about when—or whether—it would come to pass. (How long has it been since Schnucks vacated the building? Twenty-five years? Long enough for the cute little Norfolk pine I bought there at Christmas in 1986 to outgrow my in-laws’ house, then

OF THE

greenhouse.) Fresh Thyme has staked its claim in north Kirkwood at Manchester and Lindbergh; another Lucky’s is projected for the Market at McKnight Place, a few clicks east on Manchester. Fields Foods, yet another grocer flying the ‘sustainable’ flag, is open in the Lafayette neighborhood in midtown St. Louis. Rick Stream, a Republican state rep from Kirkwood and a fixture on the local political scene for years, will face Steve Stenger in the November general election for county executive. In the Aug. 5 primary, Stenger soundly defeated Charlie Dooley, who has occupied the post since 2003. Term limits meant Stream was constrained from seeking a fifth term in the Missouri House. Stenger, a Democrat and chairman of the county council, ran on a platform that alleged gross mismanagement by the Dooley administration. Come next January, Dooley and Stenger won’t have to occupy the same chambers any more. It boggles the mind to realize that they have had to work together so closely for so long, considering the level of rancor. Well, everything seemed to work out well for Barack Obama and Hilary Clinton after their notably nasty 2008 campaign, not that they would choose to be each others’ prom date or anything. After a fistfight between teens at Saint Louis Galleria escalated fears that violence in Ferguson could be spilling into Richmond Heights from North County, most stores at the mall rolled down their doors around 6 p.m. The fight reportedly erupted into a brawl involving about a dozen people; two were arrested. Several stores in Brentwood Promenade, across Brentwood Boulevard from the mall, also closed as a result of heightened tension a day after the police shooting of an unarmed teen in Ferguson. The FBI has taken over the case in which Michael Brown, 18, was shot and killed by a Ferguson police officer, sparking riots

that destroyed a QuikTrip and led to the arrests of at least 32 people. Richmond Heights and Brentwood authorities say they had been on alert because rumors on social media indicated, among other things, that a protest would take place at the Galleria. At any rate, cops say the violence in Ferguson was unrelated to the mall brawl, claiming there was bad blood between the two girls who allegedly started the fight. Burglars are creeps. These creepy folks not only tempt fate, but seriously risk bad karma, especially if they break into a church. The Big Guy is everywhere, you know. It didn’t take a super sleuth to determine one of the things that was missing,

because some of it was still there: Cake. These knuckleheads left it everywhere after smashing a window and starting in the kitchen of Cornerstone Evangelical Free Church, 921 Edgar Road. A trail of left-cake crumbs led church staff to the sanctuary, where they determined that musical instruments for worship were missing. The crooks evidently washed down cake with soda, because some of that had been consumed, too. Of course, they broke into the safe and stole petty cash. In an ongoing investigation, cops have interviewed residents and collected evidence, but we don’t think they’d be able to lift fingerprints off the cake that was not consumed. The thieves left the remaining mess behind, in the sanctuary. Because knuckleheads don’t vacuum up after themselves.

TOWN TALK

Need more cash to gamble, but fresh out of the long green? At the end of the month, when a new state law goes into effect, you’ll be able to give your credit cards a rest, too, because casinos will be allowed to extend credit themselves. We wonder who beyond a phalanx of casino industry lobbyists thought this was a good idea? SB741 has several key (read: somewhat amusing) features. For one, credit cannot be extended to an intoxicated person. Really. Applicants can apply for at least $10,000 in credit, but there’s no cap; no maximum, that is. The loans (promissory notes) must be repaid within 30 days, in cash. No collateral. I guess that means you can’t put up your car, boat or house, but you could sell all three to come up with the cash you lost on a gambling spree. Here’s a big surprise: Toppers at casinos praise the measure as a convenience for their ‘best customers.’ Why, it’ll save them the transaction fees they’d be charged each time they have to go to the ATM! That’s a valid point, I guess, since the promissory notes are interest-free. But, in a word: sheesh! The casino owners say customers have been ‘demanding’ credit. Well, OK.

And alcoholics want liquor stores to stay open all night, too. Perhaps they just needed better shoes with which to run from the cops. A squad of thieves broke into and looted the Shoe Carnival store in Bamberger Plaza off Gravois Road in south St. Louis, taking whatever footwear-related merchandise they could get their hands on. Police say a ‘caravan’ of vehicles pulled up around 11:30 p.m., and more than three dozen thieves piled out to do their business. Once they were finished, they also tried to break into the strip center’s Radio Shack store, but were unsuccessful, police say. Perhaps sirens scared off the group. A security guard watched the ruckus in progress and alerted St. Louis’ finest. Meanwhile, police arrested two men who were acting ‘suspiciously’ outside a nearby stand-alone Radio Shack not too far away, on Hampton Avenue just north of the attempted break-in. A follow-up tape further incriminates the mad mayor. Calls to 911 after an altercation involving

cyclist Randy Murdick and Mark Furrer, mayor of Sunset Hills, appear to clarify the dispute between the two. One caller can be heard yelling that the driver hit the cyclist and took off. The criminal case has been handed over to county police, and Furrer, who was quite loquacious immediately following the incident, has since kept mum under the advice of his attorney. It will be fascinating to see how this story, which has received attention

from far and wide, pans out. Meanwhile, cyclists can declare victory in one change they requested from Sunset Hills: The city has agreed to put nearly 100 miles of shared-lane markings on roads before year end. And, in other news, Sunset Hills invites cyclists, runners and swimmers to its annual triathlon this Sunday (Aug. 24). One wonders whether Mayor Furrer will wield the starter’s pistol?

[ASSET$ & ANSWERS Q “ “ by tony di martino

I LOST WHEN THE MARKET CRASHED IN ‘08, SO I’M RELUCTANT ABOUT STOCKS. ARE BONDS A RELATIVELY SAFE HARBOR? I’M CLOSE TO RETIREMENT AND WORRY ABOUT LOSING IT ALL.

Many investors consider moving out of stocks and into bonds in the years leading up to retirement to avoid risk. While it’s true that bonds can be a great tool to generate income, and their values tend to be less volatile than stocks, investors should be aware that there are some risks. One of the most common is interest rate risk. Bond values move inversely with interest rates: when interest rates go up, bond prices go down. That may not be a big issue if you hold the bond until the maturity date, when you’ll receive the face value. Another risk is default/ credit risk. You should always consider the financial strength of the issuer to be sure the interest and principal can be paid. And there’s inflation risk. If your after-tax return isn’t keeping up with inflation, you’re losing purchasing power. Regarding the losses you’ve seen in your account, yes, we’ve seen unprecedented market volatility, but diversified investors who have stayed on the roller coaster have been rewarded for their patience. If you left the market, you may consider re-entering slowly over six to 12 months. Diversification is the key to reducing volatility and risk. Talk to your financial adviser regarding your specific investment mix, because there are many factors to consider in addition to your age.

”

—JULIE GAMPP

VICE PRESIDENT, INVESTMENTS, STIFEL, NICOLAUS & COMPANY, INCORPORATED, MEMBER SIPC & NYSE

The U.S. Federal Reserve Bank recently implemented policies that saved the economy, but may have created an unsafe environment for bonds. The Fed cut rates to 0.25 percent and purchased trillions of dollars of fixed-income securities in an effort to keep rates low. The theory was that lower interest rates would lower the cost of borrowing. The cheaper it is to borrow, the more likely a consumer or business will borrow money and spend it, thus spurring economic activity. So, given historically low interest rates, many cash-strapped investors desperately sought out higher yields. Some found them in lower-quality bonds. These types of fixed-income investments once carried the name ‘junk bonds,’ but today they are more fashionably referred to as high-yield. Investors discovered that bonds with longer maturities could provide higher yields too. Investors stretched yield to 15- or 20-year maturities. But complacent bond investors received a wake-up call last year, when the annual return on U.S. long-term Treasury bonds went negative. Typically, bonds with longer maturities have higher yields, but are more sensitive to interest-rate changes. The losses bond holders experienced in 2013 may occur again when the Fed raises interest rates, which I predict will be in the third quarter of 2015. Fixed-income investors need to be aware that bonds may not always be a safe investment.

ABRACADABRA! A favorite place for kids to tap into their inner creativity is having its 35th birthday party Sept. 27. Put on your favorite party attire and head to The Magic House for its Big Birthday Bash. Hosted by the Friends Committee, co-chairs are Randy Costas and Melissa Swank. Proceeds from the annual fundraising gala go to providing 35,000 underserved children with free educational programs. The Magic House is a not-for-profit participatory museum dedicated to engaging all children in hands-on learning experiences. It encourages experimentation, creativity and the development of problem-solving skills within a place of beauty, wonder, joy and magic. And now…what to wear? No strict rules for this function. Creativity is certainly in line with the mission here, so play on the theme colors of bright blue, deep navy and lime green. My suggestion for women is to wear bright, colorful party dresses. For the guys? Express yourself with a print shirt or a sport coat and unique tie. Leave the tux at home. For more information on The Magic House, go to www.magichouse.org.

[ tricks of the trade ] Q: WHAT IS THE CHELSEA BOOT?

INQUIRING MINDS WANT TO KNOW.

A: The Chelsea boot is an ankle-high boot that fits snugly around the foot. The toe box is round or almond-shaped. Identifying features are elastic side panels and a tab at the back for ease of slipping on and off. The design of the boot dates back to the Victorian era. The Beatles made a fashion statement with their version of the Chelsea boot. And the rest, as they say, is history. Currently, the Chelsea is experiencing a resurgence in popularity.

COVER STORY

EPWORTH CHILDREN & FAMILY SERVICES]

by tony di martino

NOT EVERY CHILD GROWS UP IN A SAFE, LOVING HOME. For 150 years, Epworth Children & Family Services has specialized in helping kids who suffer from severe problems caused by neglect or physical, sexual and emotional abuse. The agency focuses on protecting at-risk youth from birth to age 25 with a wide range of support services, including emergency shelter, a 24-hour crisis hotline, counseling, education, case management, residential treatment programs and foster family recruitment. The agency reaches more than 7,000 young people and their families each year. Epworth is dedicated to helping families repair broken lives. “But the challenge has always been, how can we prevent abuse in the first place?” asks Epworth CEO Kevin Drollinger. Seeking an answer to that question, the agency merged with Family Support Network in 2012. “The merger enables us to address the causes of abuse, instead of merely dealing with the symptoms,” he explains. “What we’re trying to do is break the cycle of abuse by building proven protective factors into the family structure.” Epworth’s Family Support Network offers free, in-home counseling to improve family communication and relationships. “The program helps parents develop resources and strategies that allow them to parent effectively, even under pressure,” Drollinger says. The program’s trained therapists teach parenting skills, positive discipline techniques, and stress and anger management skills. “We also show parents how to build and maintain community resources that can help relieve some of the pressure they’re under.” The approach is effective. “Evidence shows this type of intervention correlates with reduced incidence of child abuse and neglect—in fact, 99 percent of parents in the program remain free of abusive behavior,” Drollinger says. “We’ve built upon that success by expanding the program to include more therapists and serve more families. By going to the source of the problem, we hope to decrease the need for some of the

more intensive services we’ve traditionally provided, such as residential care.” Anna Gold came to Epworth’s Family Support Network when her son, Adam, was suspended six times in his first semester of middle school. Through in-home therapy, Adam revealed his adult brother had been hitting him and making him feel it was his fault. “The therapist worked with our family and with Adam’s teachers to help him communicate his feelings,” Gold says. “Together, we dealt with the situation. Adam felt heard and understood. His meltdowns decreased significantly, and he tested into the school’s gifted program by the end of the year.” Funding these services requires community support. The annual Wine Dinner & Auction, a major fundraiser, takes place Nov. 15 at The Ritz-Carlton. Presenting sponsor is Buck Consultants, A Xerox Company. “It’s a fun way for grape enthusiasts to taste something new and bid on rare wines,” explains Deborah Lemoine, who co-chairs the event with her husband, Bryan. “And it’s for a wonderful cause. Epworth helps families build brighter futures so they can function successfully in our community.”

In addition, the gallery to provide customers with knowledgeable service in the buying, selling and appraisal holds exhibitions of both established and up-and-coming artists to the community.

Moolah Theatre & Lounge

Visitors to the Moolah sip alcoholic beverages and relax on couches with the intricate, Moorish temple dome overhead. But it almost wasn’t so. Built in 1913 as a Shriners Temple, the Moolah went into disrepair after the Shriners moved to a new facility in the 1980s. In 2003, the building underwent a massive renovation, reopening in 2005 as a single-screen theater run by Harman Moseley of St. Louis Cinemas. “I wanted to turn it into a multiple-screen theater, but we couldn’t chop the building up. The only way the renovation would work was through tax credits, and the only thing historic was the auditorium,” he says. The inspiration for the theater’s quirky atmosphere comes from Moseley’s decades of industry experience. “In the ‘70s I went to parties thrown by Mid-America Theatres,” he says. “Their offices had a screening room with a little bar and shag carpeting. We thought it was the coolest place to see a movie, so that’s what we did with the Moolah.” In the future, moviegoers can expect a few changes at the theater, including the addition of a second screen in the lounge to create a deluxe boutique theater, Moseley says.

The Tivoli Theatre

Cruising down Delmar Boulevard, you can’t miss the

Tivoli Theatre, its neon sign marking the ornate building. The theater, listed in the National Register of Historic Places, opened in 1924, but closed 70 years later after multiple ownership changes and general decline. Joe and Linda Edwards, owners of Blueberry Hill and The Moonrise Hotel, quickly bought it. After a $2 million restoration, the theater reopened in 1995. The Tivoli is operated by Landmark Theatres, a national chain dedicated to independent films. The theater is a treat for film buffs as its lobby showcases movie memorabilia and its walls are decorated with vintage movie posters, including many with ties to St. Louis.

Fred Wehrenberg saw his first film at the 1904

World’s Fair. Two years later, he opened the Cherokee Theatre next to his saloon, signaling the birth of what is now the country’s oldest family-owned theater circuit. The business thrived, leading to several additional theaters, including Ronnie’s Drive-In, opened in 1948 and named after Wehrenberg’s grandson Ronald Krueger. In 1963 Krueger became president and is now chairman and co-CEO. The current incarnation of Ronnie’s, opened in 1999 in the same location as the original, pays homage to its roots with a drive-in themed lobby area. Executive director and COO Bill Menke credits the company’s success to innovation. “We’ve seen the transitions in the movie business, from the silent era, to talkies, to where we are today,” he says. “We were the first to bring stadium seating to St. Louis in the ‘90s and we were the first in the area to transition to digital.” Among other improvements, Wehrenberg is bringing its Five Star Lounge, featuring in-theater dining and drinks for patrons 21 and older, to additional theaters, says Menke. The first Five Star Lounge debuted at the Chesterfield Galaxy 14 in 2010.

The Hi-Pointe Theatre

The Hi-Pointe Theatre at the intersection of I-64, Clayton Road and McCausland Avenue, is iconic St. Louis. Built in 1922, it is named after the surrounding Hi-Pointe neighborhood and is the oldest operating single-screen theater in town. Many theaters built in the ‘20s were also intended to feature vaudeville acts and plays. But not the Hi-Pointe—its auditorium was specifically constructed for movies. Locals George and Georgia James have operated the theater since the ‘70s. Besides showing the latest blockbusters, the Hi-Pointe also offers classic movies and cult favorites.

WHEN A RESTAURANT reaches 20 years these days, there’s reason to celebrate. Cutthroat competition, paired with a volatile economy, has put these old favorites in a rarefied group. Remy’s, an original little spot in Clayton’s south-downtown area, is just about there, and it’s easy to see why. Opened in 1995 by Tim Mallett, Remy’s was unusual from the start in a city focused on Italian restaurants. Instead, it was ‘Mediterranean,’ serving an array of Middle Eastern-leaning foods, many as small plates, a concept embraced immediately by St. Louisans. And a female, Lisa Slay, headed the kitchen, also unusual at the time. Slay, part of a longtime local restaurant family, is still there, and to her credit, she churns out inventive and delicious dishes on a menu that stays current. So while stuffed grape leaves were probably on her menu 20 years ago, many other offerings reflect the culinary changes that have taken place since then. Like Black Pepper & Parmesan Polenta Fries ($5.50), which,

while true to the Mediterranean character of Remy’s, certainly weren’t on the dining scene in 1995. Those ‘fries,’ by the way, are scrumptious: The thick pieces have a crunchy cornmeal exterior and a soft inside. The dipping sauce is a tangy, red pepper harissa with just a little bite. Also stellar is the Grilled Eggplant Napoleon ($15), which we shared as a starter. A simple dish layered with eggplant, tomatoes and creamy fresh mozzarella, it demonstrates what can be done when each ingredient is of the highest quality (especially the olive oil). A special of Barramundi with Sautéed Kale and Fennel ($23) captured the charm of Lebanese flavors in its fragrant mix of wilted greens and fennel spiced with cumin. Rice prepared with chickpeas was the base on which the sweet white-fish rested, skin-side up and beautifully peppered and crisped. Its charbroiled skin imparted a pleasant smokiness to the mild fish. Another entree, Buttonwood Farm Grilled Chicken Breast, was an example of how good chicken can be. The

airline breast had tender, flavorful meat under a butterycrisp skin. It came with a mix of roasted cauliflower, bell peppers and red potatoes and a lemony-oregano jus. A side of Gorgonzola Whipped Potatoes ($4.50) was creamy and buttery tasting from the mild blue cheese, so much more interesting than cream and butter. Certified Hereford Strip Steak ($19.50) offered a nice piece of meat with good flavor, but I found the toppings too heavy in both flavor and quantity. A little blue cheese alone might have been fine, but arugula salad with balsamic dressing was also on top of the steak, with the pungent dressing pooling on the plate. The Tuscan Seafood Stew ($22.50) was delicious. Its spicy, flavorful broth came piping hot and laden with delicacies like shrimp, calamari, mussels, salmon and firm white fish. It has quite a bite, so be forewarned, and it could use something more than the two crostini it comes with to soak up all that goodness. A dessert of Apple Bread Pudding ($6.50) was sweet and delicious, soaked in brandy hard sauce.

of St. Louis

From barbecue and toasted ravioli to high-end gourmet, if there’s one thing St. Louisans love, it’s great food. And for the past decade, Budweiser Taste of St. Louis has celebrated our area’s culinary acumen in an annual street fair that showcases the high, the low and everything in-between. Historically held downtown, Taste of St. Louis is moving to the Chesterfield Village Amphitheater, off Highway 40 between Clarkson and Wild Horse Creek roads, for this year’s food event Sept. 19 to 21. The move was a calculated one, says Taste of St. Louis co-director and coowner K. Sonderegger. “Our mission statement is offering the best food, arts, music and culture that the region has to offer,” she says. “We had a wonderful run for nine years downtown, but we really wanted it to be even more food-centric, and the amphitheater is an awesome way to showcase nationally acclaimed culinary talent alongside our local talent. Logistically, it’s a wonderful space to showcase everything we have to offer.” Chesterfield’s outdoor amphitheater allows the event to expand by offering Bud Light Amphitheater Shows, a ticketed series that features celebrities, music concerts, beer samplings and more. This year, Food Network stars Tyler Florence and Duff Goldman each will make appearances on the amphitheater’s stage—marking the first time national celebrities have participated in the festival. Chef Chris Lee, who recently launched Chef’s Table STL and has won the event’s Stella Artois Chef Battle Royale culinary competition the past two years, says the move is a way to bridge city and county. “When you go to Chicago or Nashville, there’s no longer that hard line between the city and the county,” he says. “I’m excited to see what comes of the move. At the end of the day, we all live in St. Louis.” The majority of the festival’s events remain free to attendees, including Kid City, which offers family-centric activities, the Art & Wine Walk, sponsored by Sachs Properties, and The Marketplace, a space for local businesses to showcase their wares and services. Sauce Magazine’s Restaurant Row, remains a popular attraction, with its more than 35 restaurants, including Drunken Fish, Kakao Chocolate, Annie Gunn’s, EdgeWild and Balaban’s. “St. Louis has really gotten on the culinary scene the last few years,” Sonderegger says. “Every year we have excellent chefs nominated for James Beard awards. Taste of St. Louis helps expose that and makes everybody proud of what our region has to offer.”

HAPPY [HOUR by cory cuff

BARREL-AGED COCKTAILS ARE NOTHING NEW.

They have been around for quite some time and are delicious. A mixed cocktail, much like a single spirit, will pick up the characteristics of the barrel, with charred new American Oak being the most typical barrel. Charring a barrel creates what is called ‘the red layer,’ which essentially is the caramelization of the natural elements found in oak. Once the cocktail is inside, a multi-step process of flavor absorption takes place. As the oak heats and the pores open up, the cocktail becomes absorbed into the wood, which ultimately penetrates the red layer. As the wood cools down, the pores shrink and the liquid is pushed back into the barrel. Over time, the alcohol will evaporate—something called the ‘angel’s share,’ simultaneously causing concentration and oxidation. These processes happen slowly, so barrel-aged cocktails need anywhere from four to six weeks to mature.

It’s best to use spirits that have not seen the barrel before; that’s when you will see the most dramatic changes. One of the classics is Negroni. If you’re interested in barrel-aging a drink at home, follow these steps. First, buy a barrel. Second, fill it with hot water for 48 hours so the pores swell. Next, fill the barrel completely with your cocktail ingredients; then store in a cool, dark place for a set period of time. Last, enjoy.

Marvel Comics fan your entire life, or if you just have two hours to kill, the new Marvel movie, Guardians of the Galaxy, based on the 2008 comic book, will not disappoint. It has something for everyone, which is rare for a superhero action film. It is witty, intense and might even make you tear up—a pretty cool variety of emotions for a movie based on a criminal superhero team that ventures out to save the galaxy. Chris Pratt is perfectly cast as the main character, Star-Lord. When we weren’t gripping our armrests in anticipation, we were laughing at Pratt’s sarcasm and quick wit. As if this movie didn’t have enough going for it, the amazing soundtrack will make your parents feel like kids again. SHOULD YOU SEE IT? YES!

PLANES >> While I very much enjoyed Disney’s first Planes movie

with my grandkids, ages 4 and 6, the second film, Planes: Fire & Rescue, was both less clever and less benign. Some of the problem comes from sequel-itis: The same kind of quips and situations that were funny the first time around just naturally lose some of their zip in movie two. But there were still some zingers for the adults (She left me for a hybrid—I didn’t even hear it comin’.). My real complaint is that there was a lot of scary tension throughout the movie that was too harrowing for little kids’ fare: Dusty Crophopper crashed a few times, his trainer Blade was burned and a couple of elderly RVs were trapped by flames.

[BACK-TO-SCHOOL BASICS] by rick stoff YES, WE’RE GLAD THEY’RE HEADED BACK TO SCHOOL. But are we ready for all the attendant issues? New shoes and binders are the easy part. What about kids with allergies or attention deficit problems, or those at risk for the latest big concern, concussion? Let’s see what the experts say about getting over some school health hurdles.

101

:::: CONCUSSiON Concussion has become the newest buzzword in the sports world. But when it comes to head injuries and our kids, that’s personal — and everyone is listening carefully.

HUSH-HUSH, NO MORE “For many years, even at the highest levels of sports, no one talked about concussions. People treated them like they were bruises,” says Dr. Jason P. Young, an orthopedic surgeon at Orthopedic Associates of St. Louis. Not any more.“We have noticed the high rate of exposure for kids. Without a doubt, the attention is all for the better.” An estimated 8.9 percent of high school athletic injuries involve concussions, according to the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), with the incidence relatively high in activities not typically considered violent. Dr. Rachael A. Mergenmeier, who practices family medicine at Des Peres Hospital’s MedPost Urgent Care center in Ellisville, says, “With an estimated 300,000 sports-related concussions each year in the U.S.,”“not having a standardized evaluation and recommendations for when kids should return to sports was putting them in danger.”

Concussion in Children and Adolescents, identifies concussion as the result of “a direct blow to the head, face or neck, or elsewhere on the body, with an ‘impulsive’ force transmitted to the head.” Concussive injuries “largely reflect a functional disturbance rather than a structural injury,” with injuries not typically detectable by diagnostic images. But the trauma disrupts metabolic and chemical processes, “which results in the depolarization and suppression of neuronal activity.” following a collision on the field can reflect a serious brain injury, Mergenmeier says. “A loss of consciousness makes it easy to recognize a concussion. But there are more subtle things, too, and often student athletes won’t let us know because they want to continue with play.” She suggests a few simple questions: Where are you are? Can you count backward by seven? Young adds symptoms to watch for: confusion, dizziness, nausea, light sensitivity or balance problems.

caution counts At any suspicion of

concussion, Young says, “that child needs to be pulled from the sport.” Athletes who finish a game after an impact may encounter their first symptoms hours later, so parents need to remain watchful, he says.

Concussion care emphasizes recovery time. If not fully healed before another impact is suffered, an athlete can be at grave risk. “If we don’t allow healing, the injury goes deeper and affects more body systems,” says Young, who has conducted seminars on sports concussions for coaches. “Second-Impact syndrome can occur even with relatively mild concussions,” Mergenmeier adds, “causing problems with focus, irritability, emotional control, depression, chronic headaches and memory. It can affect future learning.” concussion rate, according to AAP. Girls soccer is second, followed by boys lacrosse, boys soccer, girls basketball, wrestling, girls lacrosse, softball, boys basketball, boys and girls volleyball, and baseball. “Some others are not often thought of as risky,” Mergenmeier notes, citing hard falls during cheerleading and gymnastics. And, she says, “Girls tend to have more severe and long-lasting sequelae from head injuries.” The AAP paper theorizes that weaker neck muscles and smaller head mass may elevate a girl’s risk.

ACCORDING TO THE CENTERS FOR DISEASE CONTROL

6.1

> The incidence of ADHD in American children (ages 4 to 17) has risen from 7.8 percent in 2003 to 11 percent in 2011. > The number of children taking medication for ADHD increased from 4.8 percent in 2007 to 6.1 percent in 2011. “My professional opinion is that ADHD is not overdiagnosed today,” says Amy Maus, a licensed clinical social worker and assistant director of West County Psychological Associates in Creve Coeur. “Certainly, some children receive poor-quality evaluations and are placed on medication inappropriately.” “The incidence of ADHD is always a bone of contention,” adds Shelley B. Smith, founder and owner of Special Solutions Private Learning Center in Brentwood. “However, it is very real.”

the roots...The causes of ADHD are uncertain, according to

the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH). Genetics are suspected, as are environmental factors such as childhood exposure to lead and maternal exposure to tobacco and alcohol. “Inattention, hyperactivity and impulsivity are the key behaviors,” states the NIMH. “It is normal for all children sometimes, but for children with ADHD, these behaviors are more pervasive.” The organization identifies three ADHD subtypes: predominately hyperactive-impulsive; predominately inattentive; and combined hyperactive-impulsive and inattentive.

school issues...“I teach parents that ADHD is a neurological condition that impairs an individual’s ability to inhibit behavior and focus attention,” Maus says. “In school, a child needs to be able to sit in the seat, quiet the voice, listen to the teacher, follow directions and organize assignments and materials.” “These kids have really good intentions but have difficulty following through,” Smith adds. “They are smart, but as demands increase at school, they can’t manage all the tasks. They don’t develop study skills. They have trouble prioritizing. It may not show up until they reach higherlevel courses. We see medical and law students being diagnosed.” “The ADHD does not affect their learning,” Smith continues, “but because of missing assignments and poor test-taking skills, their grades aren’t good.”

More Success with Less Family Stress For the Parents of College-Bound Children with Learning Challenges

home issues....The behavior of an ADHD child can be

baffling and frustrating for parents. “ADHD can look like laziness, but it’s not,” Smith says. “Being mad at your kid doesn’t work.” Criticism, in fact, may add another layer of difficulty, she notes. “If they do poorly in school and they’re fussed-at all the time, it affects their self-esteem.” Maus agrees. “It’s important for parents to understand that ADHD is not caused by poor parenting, too much TV, or video games, sugar, caffeine or food additives,” she explains. “What’s important is how parents respond.”

what’s next?...The diagnosis of ADHD often is suggested by

a teacher. “Speaking to a private therapist or school counselor is usually a good first step. An evaluation includes psychological testing measures to rule out other causes, such as anxiety, giftedness and depression, and to improve the accuracy of the diagnosis,” Maus says. Medication as treatment can be controversial. NIMH says medications can have a “calming effect” and “reduce hyperactivity and impulsivity and improve ability to focus, work and learn.” However, “a one-size-fits-all approach does not apply.” “I always encourage parents to keep an open mind,” Maus says. “Every teacher with whom I have worked has witnessed seemingly miraculous results when an ADHD child is provided appropriate medical treatment.” NIMH also recommends counseling and behavioral therapy. “These children benefit from coaching and role modeling,” Smith says. “Routine is very helpful. We take out their planner and look at what their courses require during the week, and we organize them. We break their time into smaller pieces. We call it ‘chunking.’” With treatment and ongoing parental encouragement, “They are able to focus their attention, participate in class, complete their assignments and often improve their grades,” Maus says.

Allergies LOCAL LIABILITIES “In the spring, we have a healthy dose of tree pollen,” Kocur says. “We have a diversity of trees that put out an amazing amount of pollen in March, April and May. Starting around mid-August, the weeds start to pollinate, predominately ragweed, which runs through late September or early October.” And just as weed pollen settles, our sinuses and airways are attacked again. “The mold, which many people in St. Louis ascribe all of their problems to, will reach its highest counts in late fall as organic matter starts to decompose,” Kocur explains. “The leaves and grass are dying and mold is a by-product of that.”

DIAGNOSIS CONFUSION “The common cold is often confused with allergies, and fall also is the flu season,” notes Dr. Hamsa N. Subramanian of Signature Medical Group. “Allergy symptoms are similar to those for an upper respiratory cold. You have nasal congestion, drainage in the back of the throat, a running nose, coughing and sneezing. Then there are secondary symptoms like headaches and your ears feeling plugged. We have three diagnoses that almost mimic each other, so it is confusing.”

What’s standing in your way? Sometimes we need a little extra help to understand who we are and where we want to go in life. Let’s work together to: ~ make peace with the past ~ create motivation for lasting change ~ achieve balance and wholeness ~ experience joy, hope and self-reliance ~ live with intention — and thrive!

Back-to-school coincides with another, not-so-benign season: FALL ALLERGIES. Unfortunately, St. Louis ranks among the WORST places for allergies, says allergist Dr. Robert Kocur.

FOOD FIGHTS Food allergies can be a serious back-to-school issue, Subramanian says. “If a child has food allergies, it is the parents’ responsibility to make sure they have spoken to teachers and updated the allergy form at school. They need to see their doctor before school starts so they can renew their emergency medication prescription and give the doctor time to do the paperwork that is needed by the school.” While school nurses do a great job of monitoring food allergies, “It is very important that parents also watch the lunch schedule,” she says. “If the school is having a party, know what snacks are going to be provided.”

ALLERGY OR NOT? According to the Centers for Disease Control, an actual allergy “is a hypersensitivity disorder in which the immune system reacts to substances in the environment that are normally considered harmless.” “We see a lot of non-allergic rhinitis. It behaves exactly like allergies,” Subramanian says. In addition to outdoor irritants such as pollen and mold, nonallergic reactions can be caused by indoor triggers like pet dander, house mite dust, and abrupt changes encountered when going from moist, warm, outside air to cold, dry, inside air, she says. Children who have asthma— chronic inflammation and narrowing of the airways—also can be affected by stressors such as moving to a new school. So when is it just ‘the sniffles,’ and when do you go to the doctor’s office? “When the symptoms are affecting the child’s quality of life, when they aren’t able to go outside or when it is affecting school performance, it is time for your doctor’s input,” Kocur says.

TREATMENT Whether symptoms are allergic or non-allergic, physicians have effective tools at their disposal. “We have more variety in medications than we used to, and some are available over the counter,” Kocur says. “If they are following their treatment plans, I do not expect children with allergies to have significantly different lives than children who don’t have allergies.” “Absolutely,” Subramanian agrees. “I have a motto: ‘Be proactive.’ Have your child evaluated during summer break so you know what to do before that hayride or soccer practice. Know the triggers and know when to take the medications.”

SIGNATURE ALLERGY AND IMMUNOLOGY Beginning a new school year in the fall is always an exciting and challenging time for children, why let asthma and allergies pose additional issue? • Have an “action plan” on file at the school •Talk to your child and review what triggers allergy or asthma symptoms • Make sure you are well-equipped with rescue medications • Try to control allergy symptoms before sending kids off to school

COVER STORY

LAURA McCARTHY by stephanie zeilenga WHEN JULIE NOONAN says she immediately fell

PHOTO: BILL BARRETT

head over heels for the Glendale home at 765 W. Kirkham Ave. after first seeing it in 2002, she means it. “We just knew it was for us,” she says. “We closed on a Thursday and got married on the front porch on a Saturday.” Since then, the wide front porch, sheltered from the street by a row of pines, has provided a welcoming spot to sit and stay awhile—and neighbors, family and friends often did just that. “We have a really private setting, and you just feel like you’re out in the middle of the country,” Noonan says. The 5,663-square-foot home, built in 1868, sits on an acre lot and has been beautifully restored and updated, Noonan says. “I appreciate its history and architecture, so everything is authentic to the period, and we spent a lot of time and attention matching what was already there.” But the beauty of the home is only a small part of its appeal, Noonan says. The family also has loved the tightknit, small-town feel of Glendale. “I find it so quaint and charming, and we’ve made a lot of good friends in the area,” she says. Neighbors and family often gathered in the home’s spacious backyard, which features a red barn and a pool, site of many wiffle ball tournaments and barbecues. The area’s walkability makes it an ideal place for kids, Noonan adds. Her children often would walk to their

friends’ houses, or meet up as a group at Larson Park for a tennis game or to romp on the playground. “It’s so kidfriendly, with lots of schools around,” Noonan says. “We walk into Webster all the time, and there’s so many great restaurants and lots of things for children to do. Walkability helps you get to know your neighbors and everyone is so friendly. It really is a great place to live and raise a family.” It’s neighborhoods like these, the ones St. Louisans love to call home, that Laura McCarthy specializes in, says company president Kathy Beilein. “We’re lucky that we’ve always been positioned within the central corridor, and so we sell in many of the urban and suburban areas that still have the beautiful architecture and all the amenities,” she says. “Walkability is important, and many of our communities are family-friendly with great parks and entertainment. This makes St. Louis a great place to live.” After more than a decade on West Kirkham Avenue, Noonan is ready to move on to a new project—this time a Central West End home in need of some TLC. But with Laura McCarthy’s help, the Glendale home will soon have new owners to relax on its front porch, entertain in its yard and become a part of the community. “Buyers are always looking for community, and there are so many neighborhoods that are really distinct with their own personalities. That’s pretty unique to St. Louis,” Beilein says.

[HOMEWORK: plant shade trees DEAR HOMEWORK,

We purchased a fantastic home in a short sale situation. We love the amazing interior and the ‘bones’ of the outside. Currently, we are looking at replacing the shrubbery, drive and also the siding. Enhancing the overall exterior feel of the home is our goal. Any advice would be wonderful! Thank you, ———FROM FORECLOSURE TO FORMIDABLE

DEAR FROM FORECLOSURE TO FORMIDABLE,

I can imagine your excitement at finally closing on a house you love. It’s an added plus that there is much about the interior that works for you as well. ———HOMEWORK

BEFORE

replant hedges PHASE I

Certainly the exterior could use some attention. In the first image you see my least elaborate suggestions. Replanting the hedges at the base of the columns is a must. Matching the two sides strengthens the symmetry of the façade, and keeping the hedges trimmed fairly low helps the façade and the columns feel taller. Additionally, I show large shade trees adjacent to the sidewalk to help frame the house and alleviate the barren feel of the existing property.

Luxury is subjective.

Your luxury, delivered. Since 2012, the agents at RedKey Realty Leaders St. Louis have helped almost 1000 clients find their homes, their definitions of luxury. We look f 27 | TOWN& | AUGUSTyou. 20, 2014 forward tostyle helping

T&S HOME

dormer windows

paint brick white

new central window PHASE II

In the second image you see some architectural refinements. Adding three new dormer windows brings interest to the roofscape and makes the house feel more historically accurate. I also show a new central second-floor window that is smaller and more detailed, and again, is more historically accurate for an ‘antebellum’ design. Finally, I show a dormer on the garage to help balance the entire façade. With these changes, the house takes on more of the feel of a house designed in the ‘20s or ‘30s.

oval lawn side parking area PHASE III

In the final image, the property has received a completely new landscape with a formality that accentuates the architecture. A new oval lawn and hedges and a new side parking area add design impact and utility to the property. Painting the brick white pulls the whole façade together and underscores the antebellum feel. All three schemes are attractive. You can decide how far you want to take things.

by tony di martino When the real estate market was in free-fall and everyone else headed for the hills, Jill Butler opened her own firm. “Folks thought I was crazy, but I knew there was a need for a boutique agency like RedKey,” she recalls. “I figured it would appeal to both agents and clients— and I was right. In our first year, we achieved 300 percent growth; by the end of 2013, when the market was up 19.6 percent in volume, we were up more than 260 percent.” The Illinois native has hung her hat in Michigan, California and Colombia, South America, but now lives in Clayton with husband Bruce, daughter Sarah and son Clay.

RAIDERS OF THE LOST LUNCHBOX

As a kid, I wanted to be a dancer-geologistperformer. I thought I could be sort of an Indiana Jones and do performances to showcase the treasures I found. CAREER PATH My dad had a real estate company, so I grew up around the business. But I spent a few years in advertising and marketing before it hit me that real estate offered the kind of flexible, entrepreneurial environment I thrived on. I held sales, team leader and executive positions at other firms before starting RedKey in 2012. GOAL I wanted to create an agency that provided resources for agents to be successful and gave them the most value for their commission splits. FIRST SALE It was in St. Louis Hills. I was greener than grass, but the deal went well and the clients were happy. I never looked back. BIGGEST SALE EVER $1.4 million. PERKS Real estate is never boring. I get to serve others, create community and help clients build wealth. The industry is always evolving and we get to evolve with it. MAKING LEMONADE I had an investor client and everything went wrong on the way to the closing table. We had title and appraisal issues, the buyer’s funds were late, etc. I was sure he’d never hire me again. When we finally closed, I held a celebration with food, drinks, flowers and balloons, and he loved it. That taught me to always do my best and finish strong. I still celebrate every closing. HOW TO SUCCEED It takes more than a good score on your licensing exam to make it in this field. It takes passion and tenacity. You must put your clients’ interests first. SECRET DESIRE I wish I could snowboard. How cool are Olympic snowboarders? HOBBY I love to salsa dance. It’s so much fun, and you don’t realize what a great workout you’re getting. DAY IS DONE There’s no better way to unwind than having a glass of wine and a good laugh with my husband.

SEEING RED

STATEMENT TABLES

A custom-made, one-of-a-kind dining table becomes the centerpiece of the room. This one, by Reclaim Renew in Kirkwood, was constructed with lumber from a barn more than 100 years old. “Although smooth to the touch, you can still see and feel the saw marks,” says creator Barry Kraft.

trending

Don’t be afraid of bold colors in the dining room. Here designer Kimberly Kowalski, Allied ASID of Savvy Surrounding Style, used Benjamin Moore’s Moroccan Red paint, offset with white tufted chairs. “Red has historically been used in dining rooms because of its inherent ability to stimulate energy and the appetite,” Kowalski says.

There’s nothing like sharing a good meal with family and friends in the comfort of your own home. And since lifestyles have become so casual, the way you entertain can reflect your personal style. Check out some of the latest looks popular for dining in.

Punch up your table with lively linens, such as these Moroccaninspired Tanger linens by Le Jacquard Francais. “These invite us to indulge in Moroccan living with vibrant shades of orange and jasmine,” says DP Nguyen of Sallie Home in Ladue.

CASUAL ELEGANCE

Formal dining rooms are giving way to a more comfortable, casually elegant look. In this room, designer Joni Spear’s clients wanted something both modern and rustic. “The wool rug has varied pile resulting in a sculptural element. The table is rustic oak with the exposed grain balanced out by the modern metal trim,” she explains. ECLECTIC MIX

Dining room furniture needn’t be a matched set. “It’s important to make sure the heights and loft of the seats are compatible, so seated guests are all at the same level. Then have fun combining pieces that ‘speak’ to each other and have an interesting relationship,” says designer Steven Miller.

DRAMATIC LIGHTING

Move beyond the traditional chandelier and seek something in a different shape, size or material, like this sculptural nine-light fixture by Corbett, available at Metro Lighting. In silver leaf and polished stainless finish over hand-crafted iron, it resembles curling flames and makes a dramatic statement. PHOTO: METRO LIGHTING

METALLIC DISHES

Metallics are hot. The hammered finish of Pewter Stoneware by Juliska gives each piece a truly authentic look. Though it strongly resembles metal, the everyday ceramic dishes are microwave, oven and dishwasher safe. The collection is available locally at Christopher’s in Kirkwood. BENCH/BANQUETTE SEATING

Combine regular chairs with less traditional dining room options. “A bench or banquette often works well in tight spaces or corners where you need seating against a wall,” says designer Joy Tribout, who used one in this elegant dining room she designed.
